How cute!!!

I started my day off with a visit from one of my past students. He came in and told me about a new pet that he found. Curious about his finding, I foolishly followed him outside. To my surprise, there was a desert lizard hanging out in his backseat (in a box). We were formally introduced as he exchanged hisses at me. Although he was not to keen of my presence, I thought it would be a good idea to offer the poor little guy a break from the sun- so, we brought him inside for some AC and water. Unfortunately, he was not to impressed, but the move made for a better photo opp!!!

Aww... my students make me so proud!!! Instead

of apples, they bring me lizards!

Yup, that''s right I made him put his leg in between the two of us- I am not that daring... those little boogers can bite!!
He is so cute, but not exactly soft!

Lowered my ears...

Just thought I would let you all know that life out in the desert is still great! The average temperature has been 120 and we haven't seen rain in some time. We just experienced a 3 day long sandstorm, but it cleared up just in time for me to travel to another camp for some R&R by the pool!! While I was down there, (Camp Arifjan, southern Kuwait) I decided to chop off my hair. Let me tell you- it is much cooler!

Hope everyone is doing well! Please keep in touch and let me know how things are going! Here are some recent pictures... enjoy!!!

Finally, we got a sign!!!
